Answer 1

$468.75

Explanation:

We have been given that you earn a 3% commission on sales. You sell $15,625 worth of advertising for the month of May.

To find the amount of commission, we need to figure out 3% of $15,625.

`\text{The amount of commission}=(3)/(100)* \$15,625`

`\text{The amount of commission}=0.03* \$15,625`

`\text{The amount of commission}=\$468.75`

Therefore, your commission for the month of May would be $468.75.

Answer 2

$469 will be your commission fee for the month of May.

Workings: C= 3/100 x 15,625
C= 468.75
C= $469
